Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03073241A1] The present invention relates to a method of starting a computer program where the program is stored in a memory belonging to a computer (1) on which the program shall be used by a user. The invention is characterised by storing a first part (6) of the program in a primary memory (2) of the computer (1) in a first method step, wherein said first program part is comprised of the whole of said program with the exception of a smaller second part (7) thereof, wherein the primary memory (2) requires the application of a voltage in order to retain information; by fetching said second part (7) of the program from a source (4) other than the source of the first part (6) of the program in a second method step; and by storing said second part (7) of the program in said primary memory (2) in a third method step, wherewith the program (9) is complete and ready for use.
